Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future

A changing place in the history of abstraction

The exhibition story

The Guggenheim presented Hilma af Klint’s abstract work in a major United States solo exhibition.

The museum’s initial announcement and later final-weeks release preserve two stages of the event’s public record. Together they show why an exhibition archive must distinguish announced dates from a final run.

Reading the record

The end date follows the final-weeks document, not the January closing date in the original announcement.
